Brickside Brewery in Copper Harbor is making big strides this spring. Open with extended seasonal hours as of now to welcome the tourism season in, the craft brewery also announced it will be bottling soon.
On the production line is slated three Brickside brews, including a Quincy Brown ale and a as-yet-nameless double IPA which Brickside is holding a naming contest for via
its Facebook page until May 25.
Owner Jason Robinson says on Facebook the third brew is a limited release named Roche Verde Lumiere, and if you have a vague memory of French class in high school, you might guess--it's pretty hoppy. It's a collaboration with local restaurant and pub The Fitzgerald, which also takes its craft brew seriously.
"Whenever the Fitz and us get together and brew we tend to go to places that are out of the way stylewise," writes Robinson. "SOooooo this is a 9.7 percent Belgian Golden hop bombed with an obscene amount of Mosiac, then dry hopped with more Mosiac, Citra and a pinch of Nelson Suavin. A bright strong citrus nose and big fluffy head square off against big Belgian yeast flavor and complexity. So far it's been aged 8 months in the bottle and it just keeps getting better. Look for it this summer here or at The Fitz."
The brewery is located at 64 Gratiot Street in Copper Harbor and currently is open seven days a week from 3 to 9 p.m.
